Inmet Keeps Yellow Alerts for Heavy Rain and Cold Across Multiple Brazilian Regions

Overview

• Inmet has maintained yellow “perigo potencial” warnings for heavy rain and temperature drops across the North, Northeast, Southeast and South, with most rain alerts valid through June 7 and many cold notices valid through June 6.
• The warnings forecast intense bursts of rain of 20–30 mm per hour or up to 50 mm per day and winds of 40–60 km/h, conditions that can cause local flooding, fallen branches and short power outages.
• Local authorities in Salvador logged 93 incidents during the Corpus Christi holiday, including 21 landslide threats and neighborhoods with 96‑hour totals above 170 mm, and continue to monitor at‑risk areas.
• In the Southeast and South a polar air mass is driving sharp cooling with single‑digit or near single‑digit minima forecast in highlands and cities such as Belo Horizonte and a chance of frost in elevated zones.
• Private forecasters such as Meteored project a developing phase between June 8 and 15 that could bring much higher totals in parts of the North and Centro‑Norte, but agencies stress this outlook is provisional and urge people to follow Inmet and local Defesa Civil guidance.
